INTVEE has just moved into a flat although it is not yet finished, the joiners are still working. She is pleased with it, would just like it to be rotated so she could have a view of the Pentlands. INTVER is surprised to see Hopes Reversible windows in the bathroom which are expensive and considered to be good class fittings. The windows pivot horizontally and were designed for multi-storey flats but the curtain rail obstructs the movement, she's discovered that her neighbours have a piece of wood fitted above the window on the lintel on which the curtains are suspended far forward enough to allow the window to rotate. It is a three roomed flat if the small box room is included as a room. INTVER thinks the layout is good and quality of fittings good but joinery is bad - doors don't fit well, some are too loose and some are too tight. INTVER's flat is on the top floor, all the outside doors are glazed in deep turquoise glass panels. There is a box room to the right and a bedroom and living room straight ahead. The living room has a dining recess, access to the balcony and kitchen which has a sink, cooker and some work tops. To the left of the front door is a corridor with cupboards leading to the bathroom with bath, WC and washbasin. The flooring throughout is Marley tile in a dark grey. There is soft grey on the walls with all the doors done in a dark turquoise colour. INTVER thinks it's the best colour scheme he has seen in any of the corporation flats, INTVEE doesn't like it, thinks it is too sombre. The colour schemes in the flats on the landing are done alternately -two have mustard yellow doors and the other two are turquoise. The heating is underfloor heating in the bedroom, living room and hall but not the bathroom or kitchen. There s a double bar electric fire in the living room. She can't get much heat out of the underfloor heating. She calls the dining recess a dinette and wants to carpet it but was advised not to buy wall to wall because of the underfloor heating. INTVER describes the furnishings as "conventional with a slight hint of contemporary about them...on the whole nothing much of great fascination but all of it with a solid middle class quality". She moved in on a Saturday which is supposed to be unlucky but she had no choice "Saturday flitting, short sitting". The corporation has given them a card which says "it's your turn to clean the stairs next week", once you have cleaned the stairs you put the card through your neighbour's door. She thinks Muirhouse has a reputation for being a tough district but she thinks there's a difference between the new multi storeys and the older part. She thinks Leith is declining, the docks have almost gone out of business and the people are moving away, she knows one man of 76yrs who remembers when the ships used to lie out in the Forth waiting for entry. She thinks Leith will stay dead until its rebuilt. She doesn't think people should go to bingo, she went when on holiday once and won a tray, a bread tin with a tip back lid, a pyrex casserole and some teacups and saucers which she was pleased with but she knows women who go and don't win anything.
